New theory suggests gravity is not a fundamental force
A new theory proposes gravity isn’t a fundamental force but emerges from quantum electromagnetic interactions, potentially reshaping our view of spacetime itself.
Organic materials bring probabilistic computing closer to reality
Scientists created flexible probabilistic bits from custom polymers, offering a new, energy-efficient path for AI and machine learning using classical physics.
Self-interacting inflaton particles may reshape our picture of the early universe
Subtle inflaton interactions may reshape our understanding of cosmic inflation, altering predictions about dark matter, black holes, and gravitational waves.
Ultra-dense electron beams set the stage for breakthroughs in physics and technology
SLAC scientists created ultra-dense electron beams with five times the peak current, using infrared lasers to unlock new frontiers in physics and materials research.
New machine learning tool could transform how we study neutron star mergers
A new machine learning algorithm that can rapidly pinpoint the location of a neutron star merger using gravitational wave signals alone.
Higgs boson may be driving the Universe’s expansion
Scientists assume that inflation was driven by hypothetical inflaton particles, which scientists think could be the Higgs boson.
New material emitting spinning light could revolutionize optics and computing
“We’ve essentially reworked the standard recipe for making organic light emitting diodes, like those found in smartphones.”
A new type of dark matter could explain mysterious radiation from the Milky Way’s core
Dark matter could be composed of much lighter particles, with masses roughly ten times smaller than that of a proton.
Exploring quantum gravity with pendulums
If experimentally proven that gravity is classical, we will have to start from the beginning in a search for a satisfactory ontological picture of the world.
